How is exception handling tables, module infos, GC range and TLS data 
handled now in GDC?

I guess we should change druntime to use "dl_iterate_phdr" on Linux and 
FreeBSD instead of these bracketed segments. Or is there some better way?

Mac OS X already uses "getsectbynamefromheader" and similar functions to 
avoid bracketed segments.
